Hi! My name is Tabitha.
I’m finishing my final year of a Master of Science in Acupuncture at Tri-State College of Acupuncture (TSCA) Manhattan, NY with Dr. Mark D. Seem, Ph.D., L.Ac..
At TSCA, over 3 years we practice 3 different types of Acupucture: Traditional Chinice Medicine (TCM), Acupuncture Physical Medicine and Japanese Acupuncture. From the first month of the program, in addition to building my needling skills and clinical knowledge, I have picked up complementary modalities like moxibustion, tui na, cupping, gua sha, reiki and qi gong. Outside of TSCA, from Practitioners like Jen Resnick, at Zheng Gu Tui Na and Lisa Levine and Chinabear Joseph at Maha Rose, I have learned to find muscle holding patterns and and energy blockages and unwind them. Each of the modalities I've learned and experienced on myself have, one at a time begun to improved the way my body functions.
I hope you find what your are looking for.
All the best,
Tabitha
What's Cooking?
Acupuncture has made me feel more balanced and grounded than I ever have before. Reiki has allowed me to breath deeply and herbas have opened my eyes to a world of nourishment that I'd never imagined. Over the last few months I have begun an Herbal Apprenticeship with Karen Rose at Sacred Apothecary in Brooklyn. Working with her what began as a drive to open peoples' senses to the delicious experience of delicious, nourishing, local, organic, whole food has gained deeper meaning -- simple cooking has taken on spiritual and medicinal significance. Now, I cook with local medicinal plants to optimize the nutritional benefit of delicious unpretentious food.

P.P.S.
I came to Acupuncture and alternative medicine because my first experience of auricular acupuncture that I experienced during a festival at the end of my final year of undergrad. Having spent that year exploring the relationship between our sensual expereince of our environment defines what we believe or role is in society. I poured over lectures by Hans Jonas, collected in The Phenomenology of Life. I defended my thesis on a portion from Thus Spake Zarathustra where Nietzsche tries to draw out the reverence, horror and urgency we should have about our lives and our souls.
(I did my undergrad at St. John's College, a small Great Books college in Annapolis, MD where it was normal to be immersed in the western historical and philosophical foundations of the political, religious, scientific systems that helped forge the society we live in today. It sounds pretentious but by education has been endlessly and broadly applicable. It focused on critical reading and thinking skills. – Check it out!)
